Arranged Fate

Chapter 7 - Soha Khurana

It was early morning in Murthy mansion. Nandini was sleeping peacefully on her bed, suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up without seeing who it was.

Nan (sleepy tone): hello

Man: good morning

Nandini hearing his voice got up startled and looked at the phone screen and then the clock on the wall. It was showing just 7.

Man: aree why did you got up?

She looked here and there.

Man: ok don't look here and there I am not there and main kabse wish kar raha hu good morning atleast reply toh karo.

Nandini sighed.

Nan: good morning

Man: hm good girl.

She smiled and sat comfortably with a pillow on her lap.

Man: ok ok I called you to tell you be ready we are going out.

Nan: kaha?

Man: aree kal bataya toh tha we have to shope for the engagement so be ready I'll pick you by 10.

After keeping the phone she went to freshen up.

After getting ready she came down and saw her family in the dining area. She went there and greeted everyone.

Pri: achha nandu woh nyonika ji aane wali hai aaj engagement ki shopping ke liye.

Nan: ha mumma pata hai.

Ash: aur tujhe kaise pata yeh.

She looked down blushing.

Nan: woh manik ne bataya unka call aaya tha.

Ash: ohh toh apne hone wale pati se baate hoti hai huh.

Nan (whining): bhabhi

Ri: asha dare you tease my sister. Waise nandu aur kya kaha manik ne.

Nan: bhai

Everyone laughed and completed their breakfast.

After sometime Nyonika with jeevika came to Murthy mansion. Nandini took blessings from Nyonika and hug jeevika. Nandini was looking here and there finding someone. Jeevika saw her and whispered in her ear.

Je: manik nahi aa paya usse kuch urgent kaam aa gaya.

She looked down and nodded not wanting to show her disappointment.

Then priya nandini along with nyonika and jeevika left for shopping.

They reached Virek boutique where mukti and aaliya were waiting for her. Nandini met them and they sat there to select nandini's outfit.

Aaliya showed some outfit to nandini but she was confused what to select. They were looking at the dress that's when her eyes caught a red dress in the corner. She went towards the dress and touched it slightly and smiled widely remembering her talk with manik last night when he told her his favourite color that is red.

Mukti and aaliya looked at her and then the dress and smiled widely guessing the reason she selected this dress.

Aliya told her to try the dress. After wearing it she came out and everyone were mesmerized seeing her in that dress.

Aaliya told her tailor to take nandini's measurements incase of alterations in the dress. After that they left from there to shop for the rings. Nandini really wished manik would be here with them as she really wanted to select the rings with manik but she kept quite.
